Pianist, composer and teacher Bill Gordon started playing professionally at fourteen, as drummer and leader of his rhythm & blues showband in Baltimore. A graduate of Wiesbaden Conservatory in Germany and Berklee College of Music, he has made his living composing, performing and producing mainstream jazz, evocative solo piano ballads, quirky pop songs, a quasi-avant-garde funk fable, and pieces for film and TV. Bill has recorded extensively and appeared as soloist, accompanist and band leader throughout the United States and Europe, and taught in Boston, New York City, Los Angeles, Vienna, Miami and now Baltimore. He currently writes and performs with jazz, R&B and indie pop singer/songwriters, does annual European tours, lectures at SAE Institute, and composes an occasional TV or film track. "A Little Romance" has an overall mood both dreamy and intense. Most pieces are original compositions; two are modern adaptations of 19th century songs. His 2001 release, "Out The Box," finds Bill with a great band playing fun, serious, gnarly, straight-ahead, whimsical jazz & odd funk.
